Brandon was such a sweet soul and kind hearted guy. He was such a sweet friend to me in high school when I didn’t have many.
Brandon was so funny, and mysterious in so many ways. He didn’t smile a lot, but when he did it brightened your world.
I’m praying for his wife Shauna and his family, including his sister Jennifer and his brother Scott, and their mother Lisa.
I can’t believe he’s gone.
I love you all!!

Brandon was truly a one of a kind! He always had a candy bowl on the table in my younger days waiting on me to just come in the house! He was a soul to never say no to anything, especially when it involved outside. He would make chores (for our sleepovers with the girls) but he made sure it would be a game. You will be deeply missed Brandon! Praying for your family!

We are at a loss for words. Brandon drove a truck for Darryl at Big Mac Tank Trucks, he always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell. To us he was like family, but all the drivers were, they were all close. Sending prayers to his entire family during this time and all the days to follow.
